As you plan for the big day, it pays to think ahead to the day itself.

While you are picking save the date cards, invitations, and a honeymoon location, remember that the things that will make your ceremony and reception truly memorable are in the details…such as your wedding programs, menus, and place cards.

Wedding Programs

Wedding programs tell guests who is in the bridal party, what’s next, and who the speakers are. Good programs increase guest engagement.

It’s critical that your program should complement the theme and fit your personality. With hundreds of designs, color schemes, and font styles, you are sure to find the right one at Wedding Paper Divas.

Menus

This is the fun part…we’re talking food here.

First, spend some time with your caterer to go over the menu. Keep the style similar or exactly the same as the program. If it’s a formal meal, use a formal font. If it’s a backyard barbecue, make it fun. Then it’s time to pick your menu stationery.

Place Cards

You don’t want Aunt Betty next to your crazy Uncle Joe, so make sure you spent some time on the seating chart.

When you’ve figured it all out, use place cards to show everyone where to sit.

There are tons of ways to use them, from a corkboard with their names and table numbers, to individual seat assignments with their names on the tables. The latter method allows guests to find their own name and enjoy mingling with other guests.

Tip: For best results and a potential price break, order all three of these at the same time. Usually sites like Wedding Paper Divas offer discounts for ordering matching programs, menus, and place cards. It also helps you to make 100% sure the designs are exactly the same (same colors, fonts, etc.)
